Xiong Wei came to the palace early, walked to the front of the Taihe Palace, and saw the door of the Taihe Palace wide open, and Fang Congzhe and a group of ministers stood on the main hall.

Xiong Wei knew that everyone was looking forward to the Ming God Sect going to court.

Yesterday, the Mingshen Sect sent Yang Hao to Liao, and the monarchs and ministers already knew about it.

The news of the decision of the Myojin Sect to go to war spread secretly throughout the palace. Next, a series of major events such as arranging troops, gathering grain and grass, and military affairs, the monarchs and ministers are waiting for the summons of the Mingshen Sect.

Look at the sun has risen to the old high, the shadow cast on the ground by the benchmark of the palace has disappeared, and the father-in-law next to the emperor said that the emperor is unwell today and cannot go to court.

The war in the country is tight, the emperor still does not go to court, and the ministers look at each other, not knowing what to do.

Some simply shook their hands and went home with a long sigh helplessly, some were still reluctant to leave, pestering the eunuchs to continue to ask about the emperor's affairs, and some gathered in a circle by themselves, figuring out the holy will.

The situation in Liaodong is changing rapidly, and the ministers who remain are talking about it.

At this time, Fang Congzhe, who was suffering from the Mingshen Sect's attitude of "accepting it with an open mind and resolutely not changing", also felt that the side matter was getting heavier.

Fang Congzhe took out the written recital again, and walked quickly to the emperor's upper study by himself. He knew in his heart that it would not be so easy to meet the emperor, and if he saw the emperor, he must say his words briefly.

As he walked, he silently read in his mind what he had to say.

"The important affairs of the military state are definitely not borne by the sick man's strength, and those who report on the side are varied, and the saints listen to the day, such as the ministers are ignorant, how can they make a plan and make a decision, so as to relieve the worries of the nine heavens." ”

Fang Congzhe also said in his speech: I hope to be able to go to the position of the virtuous, and ask for four things: supplementing the ministers, supplementing the ministers, supplementing the officials, and issuing money.

Fang Congzhe came to the emperor's Qianqing Palace, and as expected, he had a closed-door meal and was stopped by his father-in-law.

Fang Congzhe saw Xiong Wei also standing in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, wandering with a serious expression, and it was estimated that he was also rejected by the emperor.

He heard that the emperor had summoned Xiong Wei once, and Zheng Guifei and the empress had summoned Xiong Wei again, so the emperor quickly sent Yang Hao to Liaodong. The reason for this matter, Xiong Wei must know.

"Lord Bear!" he hurried over.

Xiong Wei saw that it was Fang Congzhe, and frowned, what happened to him recently, there are really a lot of people looking for him. He wanted to respond to him with a smile, but he couldn't laugh anymore, so he reluctantly asked, "Is there something wrong with Lord Fang?"

Before Xiong Wei's words were finished, Fang Congzhe pulled Xiong Wei to the quiet place behind him and asked quietly: "Lord Xiong, what arrangements does the emperor have for the war in Liaodong, and why did he send Yang Hao out of Liaodong, do you know a thing or two?"

Xiong Wei also said with a blank face: "Lord Fang, I haven't seen the emperor's face for many days. ”

"Lord Xiong, don't hide it from the old man. The old man knew that the emperor had summoned you before sending Yang Hao on the expedition. With all due respect, did you recommend Yang Hao to the emperor?" Fang Congzhe looked at Xiong Wei suspiciously, and there was a hint of reproach in his tone.

"What? Xiong Wei looked at Fang Congzhe with an unhappy expression, "How could I let him go." ”

"That's ......," Fang Cong Philosophy wanted to continue to explore.

Xiong Wei replied directly: "Lord Fang, don't ask me about this matter anymore. I also have a lot of helplessness. ”

"Alas!" Fang Congzhe sighed, shook his head, and stood in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace with a fold in his arms and continued to wait.

Sunset.

Xiong Wei walked out of the palace with "leisurely" in his arms, sullen.

For several days, Xiong Wei was like this.

Every morning, he went to the palace with the determination to go on an expedition, and in the evening, he came out of the palace sullenly with a "leisurely".

Early this morning, Xiong Wei walked to the palace again, he had just arrived at the emperor's Qianqing Palace.

The eunuch stopped him and said, "Lord Xiong, the emperor said it." You don't have to come back in the future. ”

"What?" Xiong was surprised, "Why?"

"Lord Xiong, the emperor said it. Although you are named a second-grade guard with a knife, you don't have to come every day. The emperor will summon you when there is something. ”

Xiong Wei heard what this meant. Before he could react, he saw Concubine Zheng coming out of the emperor's Qianqing Palace.

Although he was dissatisfied with Concubine Zheng, he still couldn't forget the etiquette. He hurriedly saluted Concubine Zheng and said, "Weichen greets the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang is a thousand years old." ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei walked up to him reluctantly and looked at him with disdain. "Snorted" and walked away arrogantly.

Xiong Wei knelt on the ground, watching her walk away, and his heart "chuckled".

At night, the moonlight is like water. The wind whistled the leaves on the trees, making everything seem a little bleak.

Xiong Wei held the leisurely divine sword and rushed quickly towards a tree in the courtyard. He suddenly jumped up, slashed at a leaf, and swung his sword at random.

One turned around and stood firmly on the ground, and after a while, he saw the leaves behind Xiong Wei falling flutteringly.

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the man wants to be quiet but the heart is restless. Xiaoyaozi didn't know where to come out, and looked at Xiong Qi and said slowly.

Xiong Wei lowered his head, his right hand tilted, and the blade of the sword pointed downward obliquely.

If it was the usual Xiong Wei, he would definitely be very excited and said, "Master, why did you come back?" The current Xiong Wei didn't have so much thought, and he didn't even bother to ask if Xiaoyaozi took Ouyang Ying back to Jingshi.

"Huh!" Xiaoyaozi suddenly waved his index finger, and a sword qi hit Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei bent backwards, dodging Xiaoyaozi's sword aura.

Xiaoyaozi did not stop, striding forward, turning around, spinning rapidly, jumping up, and a sword qi came out from Xiaoyaozi's fingers again.

Xiong Wei didn't have time to dodge this time, and the sword qi rushed past his arm, and his clothes were torn.

"When someone else attacks, don't just think about dodging, learn to find the fastest way to counterattack the opponent in the shortest time. Xiaoyaozi said something in his words.

"Master, you also know that my heart is not quiet. Xiong Wei frowned and said lightly.

"Your heart is not still, why is your heart not still. Still water flows deep!" Xiaoyaozi asked knowingly. As soon as he returned to Jingshi, he first sent Ouyang Ying to the Yang Mansion, and when he had dinner in the Yang Mansion, he also heard about the affairs of the court.

He knew in his heart that Xiong Wei was anxious about the war in Liaodong.

"Master!" Xiong Wei didn't have the heart to say this to him, "I don't even need to go to the palace now, a second-rank guard with a knife is also an empty position." ”

The more he thought about it, the more impatient he felt. I don't know if it's because the emperor doesn't want to see him go in and out of the palace again, so he doesn't come to the palace and summons him again if there is something. Or did Concubine Zheng Guifei say something in front of the emperor again, and the emperor let herself hang up this position and not do anything.

Xiaoyaozi frowned and asked, "Why don't you even enter the palace gate?" ”

"The emperor said today that I don't have to go to the palace in the future. Something summoned me to go again. Isn't that tantamount to putting me in the air?" Xiong Wei couldn't hold it back, and vented all the grievances in his heart at once.

"Then what's the big deal if you can't enter the palace, you want to go in and jump in. Why bother here. Xiaoyaozi said lightly, "Besides, the palace is a place of right and wrong. Don't go in!"

"Master, that's different!"

Xiaoyaozi said, with a wave of his fingers, this sword qi went out and knocked down two leaves in a row, "Whether you can calm down or not, it has nothing to do with them." You're the one who hurts in the end. It's better to practice the sword yourself. ”

"Master, you just came back and don't know anything. Xiong Wei exhaled deeply and continued, "Let's go, let's go in." I'll tell you more. ”

Xiong Wei and Xiaoyaozi entered the room, Xiaoyaozi sat on the left side and drank tea slowly, listening to Xiong Wei tell him what Xiong Wei said when the emperor summoned him, Zheng Guifei, and the queen summoned him.

Xiong Qi was furious and stomped his feet around the room as he spoke.

Xiaoyaozi glared at him and said, "Don't be so impatient, have a cup of tea." Extinguish fire. Now, the only thing you can do now is wait and endure!"

"It must be Concubine Zheng who is behind me. Xiong Wei clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his face was red with anger, "Why am I so useless!"

"Do you have proof?" said Xiaoyaozi unhurriedly.

"No!" Xiong said without any confidence. "Master, but ......" Xiong Wei was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xiaoyaozi again.

"There are already a lot of people in the palace. Don't say that you don't have evidence to prove that Zheng Guifei is behind it. Even if you have, it's useless. The emperor is obviously on Concubine Zheng's side. It's useless for you to say dead. ”

"But, Master, the queen also said that Yang Hao is just a horse, and he will definitely lose the battle?" Xiong Wei refused to admit defeat and continued.

"From beginning to end, you are Zheng Guifei said, the emperor said, the queen said. So what do you say yourself. Yang Ho just went. If you can't lose the battle, who knows?" Xiaoyaozi immediately retorted to Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly understood something. Yes, I've always heard about it. I haven't heard that Yang Ho has ever lost a battle.

"Concubine Zheng and the queen were already fighting openly and secretly. You obviously offended Concubine Zheng that day. Concubine Zheng must think that you rely on the emperor's support to not buy her face, and you can't use it for her. Of course, she had to get rid of it quickly. Xiaoyaozi slowly looked at Xiong Wei and analyzed.

Xiong Wei also sat down slowly, listening carefully to what Xiaoyaozi said.

"Although, let's say so. But none of us know what the queen, Concubine Zheng, and the emperor think in their hearts. ”

Xiaoyaozi sighed and continued: "At this time, the best way is to stop the heart and brake quietly. The more restless you are, the more likely the emperor is to think that you have ill intentions and that Concubine Zheng is causing you a little trouble. Then you just can't argue. It's better to practice swords in the yard every day. ”

Xiong Wei also took a deep breath, although he was still very aggrieved in his heart, he had to swallow it in his stomach.

Xiaoyaozi continued.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Wei and Shu Wars. Zhuge Liang is so brave that he is afraid of Sima Yi. Zhuge Liang sent people to the capital of Wei to take a walk, and rumors said that Sima Yi was going to usurp the throne.

As a result, Sima Yi was also excluded and removed from military power.

Sima Yi practiced swordsmanship at home every day, and his son was very unhappy when he saw him, and said to Sima Yi, you are a hussar general, and you can practice swordsmanship at home all day long, and you can rest assured.

Sima Yi said that Han Xin could be humiliated by his crotch back then. I have something I can't feel at ease and can't bear.

He continued: "Sima Yi can endure whatever his identity. You're only a second-grade guard with a knife, what's unbearable. ”

Xiaoyaozi said and patted Xiong Wei's shoulder again and said, "There is a knife in the heart of the word Ninja." If the husband can't learn the word 'forbearance,' how can he do great things? Don't worry. There will be a change in Gao Pingling. What you have to do now is to concentrate on sword training, and when you kill the enemy on the battlefield in the next day, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

Xiong Wei slammed into the table, and the teacups and teapots on the table bounced off. He gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Bear it! How can the big husband not bear it." ”
